So I was thinking. How do you respond when a troll gets under your skin and you don't want to "FEED" them, but you really want to say something?

Try this. You can copy and paste it into a reply or comment box.

I don't know that it will work and I doubt if the mods would endorse it, but...hey, it's better than actually engaging them. And it will really mess with a troll's head...especially if multiple people use it.

The only response that will get a troll to leave is ignoring them. If they get any feedback (from anyone, not just the intended victim), they will keep baiting everyone. If you stop playing the game, they will get bored and leave. For example, yesterday I was personally attacked with a baseless accusation. But I was out shopping at the time and didn't reply. The troll attacked someone else, got no response, and left. Since we don't have ignore buttons, we need to use the one in our heads. We can post something like "isn't this new ignore button great? So glad Mer finally got it installed." That will give the troll a hint that no one wants to play his game. Playing with a troll can be fun, but it won't get it to leave.
